Touch with loving care these humble reminders, for they are precious indeed. Place them away in the safest retreat* and when the years shall grow apaoe, they will soften the wrinkles of age, ana serve to keep green the memories of the past And when you shall have reached the last oasis in the arid desert of life they will be fragrant flowers in your pathway to the tomb.--"Amicus in Cincinnati Farming World., ..

Applause is all very well, and no one enjoys and appreciates it so much as an actor; bnt to be called from the grave to bow and smirk isn't just the thing. Where the curtain can be raised and a' tableau presented just aa the actors were ,la«t seen, it is well enough but, for the sake of people with# sensibilities, let there be no resurrection of the dead for fme purposes.

Switaseriano,; OOIUMW with the age* of the United SteteMs btit a spe£L but if we have more stowage 'and wider' : stretches of timbered lands, we atre alao oon&uming them more rapidW. A glance at thî jiwifcs « forestiy bulla- tins isstied by the Oensus Bureau VsnS> cient to alarm, one for the future timber supplies of the United States. Tlie maps show the original extent of the fewest lands and the area da* nuded by the remorseless sx of 4he lumberman. Take Michigan, tbe great pine State of the Northwest. More man uiree-fonrihs of the land, including the upper peninsula, haa been stripped of its limber. A few statistics will snoW that tbe amount of white pine remaining on the Saginaw and its tributaries, and in the basins of streams flowing hito Lakes Huron andrMichigan, ia estimated at 29,000,000,000 feet, board measure. In the single year ending with May, < 1880, 4,068,773,000 feet were cut. At this rate the supply will be exhausted in less than eight years. Of the same tim­ ber on the peninsula there were 6,000,- 000,000 remaining, in round numbers, and of this 328,498,000 feet cut in one year. From Menominee and Delta bounties the merchantable pine, says the' Bulletin, has been almost entirely re­ moved. The destruction of the woods has been on the same exhaustive ; scale. . The maps show that atong every navi­ gable stream, and on the rivers of the lakes, the timber has all been cut away, and each year the lumbermen have to go back further into the interior for their supplies, and the cost is increased by the greater difficulty in getting the tim­ ber to market Wisconsin has only 6,100,000,000 feet remaining of -n-irite pine. In the census year 540,997,000 feet were cut. How long before Wisconsin will cease to furnish a supply of this valuable timber? She hns still 3,810,000 acres of hard, wood forest; but the ravages in that are hardly less'than in the pine lands. Minnesota still has 17,200,000,000 feet « of pine, and some 6,775,000,000 of mixed "J/ pine and hard wood to boast of, but the out during the oensus year was 115,777,* 000 feet, and each year as the supplies in Wisconsin and Michigan dwindle the Oemiaid u£on Minnesota's ETOOtmxft Wffl increase. In short, unless something is done to encourage the replanting of forests of pine and hard weod it will not be twenty jears before there will be a timber famine in the land, with prices so ex­ travagant as to put an end to building in wood and to the uSe of wood as fuel. We need not dwell on tlie effect of de» forestry on climate and temperature. This has been repeatedly done in tltesQ columns. It is the universal testimony of mankind that it results in diminution of rainfall, and the dwindling away cjf creeks and navigable streams, and an in- crease in sudden and devastating storms and violent hurricanes. We have the history of the old world before us, aad if we do not profit by the warning ex­ ample we deserve to be punished for suona crime against nature.--Cincinnati Commercial m A A Condemned Han's Little Daughter.
